This very moment...

Moments define our life, memories and important events...  

My chalkboard above the breakfast nook and my Bon Appetit sign I made

At this very moment...

Someone is now falling in love
*
A new sweet baby is born
*
A mother is telling her child she loves them
*
A dream is coming true

I love Hydrangeas!
At this very moment...

Someone is having to say "goodbye" to a loved one
*
A child is laughing
*
A bud is blossoming
*
The sun is shining

We built this shelf for a breakfast spot and here are the stenciled stools I did.
At this very moment...

A tear is being wiped away
*
Someone is thinking of you
*
A blessing has happened
*
Someone is surprised


At this very moment...

A prayer is being answered
*
Someone is hurting
*
Children are playing
*
Something new is being tried


At this very moment...

"I'm sorry" is being spoken
*
A first kiss is being given
*
Someone is disappointed
*
Dinner is being made


At this very moment...

A child is being tucked in for bed
*
Someone needs a hug
*
A smile is warming a heart
*
Heavenly Father is watching over us

My love of old books always get in my pictures.

At this very moment...

A life is being saved
*
Someone is moving
*
A family is healing
*
Snow is falling

At this very moment...

 Someone just found out they won my "Queen for a day" Giveaway!!

The random generator picked #60~ Elise@Nest Sweet Nest!! 
Here is what Elise said if she was "Queen for a day"...

"If I were Queen for a day, I'd definitely eat food I didn't have to cook, in a place without a playground, go junking, get a massage, and maybe watch a movie!! What a great giveaway and congrats on your two years!!"

Elise


Congratulations Elise...this is a moment to celebrate! Enjoy your day, you deserve it!!

 Thank you to all who entered and said such sweet things about me and my blogaversary...I am humbled and grateful for each of you!! To those that are new here..."Welcome!" Happy to have you along on this journey with me!  

I would love to tell you all that I am done and ready to reveal my Spring line for my Etsy, but I'm not....along with design comes problem solving.  I had to figure out a few things I was working on.  Happy to say though, hopefully it won't be too much longer and I will be able to share with you all what I have been busy creating!  

Until then friends, cherish the moments, live in the moment and have happier moments than not!! 

Hugs and love to you all,

I am linking this up with Sarah@Beach Cottage Good Life Wednesdays!  Make sure to stop by for a visit!

    I love, too, the pretty sign, the stools, and all the sweet accents. You have a wonderful cottage style knack to be sure!

    I can't wait until your shop opens! We may be opening around the same time???? I was hoping for the first of may, but nope...had to get some painting completed first in my "merchandising" area for photography... plus wow, May has been crazy thus far! I hear you! Keep up the great work, dear one! Your place is looking beautiful as always!
